DIY Suncatcher

As promised, here is the tutorial for DIY Suncatcher. Very simple to make. :)

Items: Glass paint, transparent pp or plastic sheet, scissor, sketch pad, paint brush and pencil.

Method: Sketch on the sketch pad. Lay the pp or plastic sheet on top of your sketch. Trace the outline of the drawing with the glass paint.
Leave to dry. Once dried, cut the outline of the drawing on the pp or plastic sheet. You can punch a hole in the middle so that it can be hung with a string later.
Press out the glass paint on a palette and start painting.
Maya waited since last night to have a go at painting these. A very brief but fun activity. To prevent the sun catchers from moving around while painting, I placed wet wipes under them. The plastic sheets used are normal plastic sheets used in book binding and can be bought from stationery shops.Do try and get the thicker sheets but not too thick so that a scissor can still run through them.
